NBA 2K24 was released on September 9, and while the game itself is undoubtedly going to be excellent, one of the most exciting aspects is the ability to obtain unique replicas of NBA players’ builds. You’ll need to put in some time and grind out those matches to get your hands on these coveted items. Your efforts will be handsomely rewarded – you’ll receive a “The Worm” replica build icon for your trouble. These icons go by player nicknames rather than their real names. Once obtained, it will be displayed below your MyPlayer’s name at all times while not in a game. Your build could also be labeled as “shades of” a player, which is a step under acquiring said player’s replica build icon.
